VirtualDub Error

[sturmie]

i am trying to encode Arrested Development: Season 1 episodes and get the following error from VirtualDub:

Avisynth open failure:
RemoveGrain: the width or height of the clip is too small
(C:\AD_S1D1\agk_tmp\Arrested.Development.S1E01_movie.avs, line 19)

here is what i did to start the AutoGK encoding...ripped the DVD to files using DVD Decrypter (3.5.4.0)...pointed AGK to VTS_06_0.IFO, which seemed to contain all 6 original episodes on the disc...set the target size to 125MB each (these are for my Zen Vision M) and left everything else as default (including encoding to XviD). the weird thing is, the extended pilot, which is on the same disc (under VTS_03_0.IFO), encoded fine.

is there a problem with batch encoding in AGK 2.26? the extended pilot was the first in the job list and every episode after it seems to spit out that VirtualDub error.

thanks for the help...i did a search for the error on this forum, but i couldn't find anything specific to my issue.

I don't know if this will solve your problem, but you may want to try it for a different reason: AutoGK will probably not create individual episodes from your "File mode" rip. Instead, try ripping the individual episodes in .IFO mode. Hopefully those will encode properly. The extended pilot encode probably went ok because it was a separate .VOB.

cool...thanks...i'll give it a shot...ripping via IFO right now.

ok, so everything encoded fine for all the episodes, but for season 1 they seem to be out of order. for example, on disc 2, there is 1 episode under VTS_03 and 6 more under VTS_06...i labeled them all in order, but according to the video itself, it's not the correct episode...no biggie, i'll just have figure out which is which and label them accordingly...kinda of a pain though.

also, season 2 seems to be a little easier...all episodes are in 1 VTS...not sure about the order though...they are all encoding right now.

thanks again for the help.

There should be a production number at the end of the credits, which will also be listed on www.epguides.com. Instead of watching part of the video and trying to match the description, you can just match the number to the listing and name it as such.
